But the welcome tidings hasat last been heralded that the Breokinridge leaders have finally consented to oo-operate, and the prediction of Ex-Presidsnt Ty Ier that the rote of New York will be cast against Abraham Lincoln, will be verified. In 1856 the rote of Fremont was 276, 007, and the combined vote of Buohan* an and Fillmore 320,482, making an anti-Republican minority of 44,475; this will be rather increased than di minished. We congratulate. the lovers of the Union and the Constitution in this re sult whioh is now sure. We verily be lieve that Black Republicanism is n its last agony. It will soon be buri ed in the patt among the things that 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th MARCELLUS DOUGLAS. L. T. DOYAL. W. F. WRIGHT. J.R. PARROT. H. P. BELL. IRA E. DUPREE. LAFAYETTE LAMAR. * y Oak Lbvil Calhoun Co. Ala. 1 1 August 21,1860. J By previous appointment a portion of the citizens of Calhoun county having assembled for the purpose of consulting as to how they should vote in the coming Presidential contest, on motion of B. C. Ramey, Dr. M. Roper was called to the ohair, and J. L. Roberts request ed to act as Secretary. Dr. Roper on taking'the chair htadia few perUrient remsjrks explSffiUory of the object of the meeting, after vrhioh, on motion a committee composed of Wm. M. Story,; Joshua Roberts and John Parker, St., yras appointed to pre pare suitable'business for the meeting, foombittee after retiring ■jJjMH UpeipBvw- ing preamble on<! resolutions, for the Abolition Emissaries. The developments whioh are con stantly coming to light leave no room for doubt that abolition emissaries are scattered throughout tho Southern States, tampering with our negroes and instigating them to acts of theft, incen diarism, and murder. Scarcely a pa per reaches this office without some ac count of the discovery of the operations of these villains. In our last we published an account of a band calling themselves Gipsies in Wilcox Co. Ala., hurrying a coffin, con taining arms and amunition. We give to day some particulars of the excite ment in Talladega, Ala. We found in an exchange the other day the state ment that a planter in Mississippi hav ing occasion to chastise a negro, detect ed abowie knife on his person, and up on searching the rest of his negroes he discovered twenty similarly arm. ed. Another gentleman in the same State while attempting to arrest one of his negro men, was literally cut to pie ces by him. Lately a trunk was receiv ed at West Point, Miss., from Mobile Ala., and on being opened was found to contain abolition documents. The merchant in the latter place from whom the trunk was purchased,opened others in his store and discovered sev eral copies of the same in them. These trunks had never been opened since they were purchased of a Northern house. In Memphis, Tenn., a few days ago, a number of anti-slavery publications were found scattered in the streets; and the Appeal says there are several Abolition ists in that city who have been enticing the negroes from their masters. The same paper gives an acoount of the ar rest of some of the fugitives in the woods, and the discovery in a hollow tree, of a quart bottle of poison, which the ne groes admitted had been given to them by a white man who endeavored to in duce them to use it in killing the whites. - Wr do not relate these facts to creat alarm, for there is no cause for it now; but there mill be unless we take the nec essary precautions whioh prudence and discretion suggest. Our object is to in. cite our citizens to the strictest vigilance, for we cannot resist the conclusion that there is an organized band at work, pre paring to carry out their villainous schemes. The indications are that they have been iu our midst, may be here now, and certainly will' be again. We want to see them taught a lesson, not that they won’t forget, but that they can’t remember. Five questions — Four of which a Breckinridge Democrat will answ er, and the Filth he will not. Qua.—How d6 you know that your party is in favor of the doctrine of pro tection to slavery in the Territories 7 Ana.—Because they have declared clearly and unequivocally in the plat form, “that it is tho duty of the Feder al Government, in all its departments, to protect, when necessary, therightc of persons and property in tho Territo ries.” Qua.—When will it be necessary for tho Federal Government to afford this protection T Ans.—When, in the language ot the platform, the right to property in slaves is "destroyed or impaired by Territori al Legislation.” Qua,—Has not the Kansas Legisla ture passed laws prohibiting slavery in that Territory, and thus destroyed or impaired the right to property in slaves 7 An*.—Yes. Qua.—Is it not then necessary now for the Federal Government to protect the slave owner in his rights. Ans.—Yes, Ques.—Why, then did Breckinridge Democratic Senators vote down the res olution introduced by Senator Brown of Mississippi, declaring it tobenecessary now for the Federal Government to protect the rights of the slaveholder 7 jVo Answer. We hove never been able yet to get an answer to this last interrogatory. It any of our cotemporaries can meet with better success wo hope they will give us os early as possible the result of their investigation. We are anxious to hear that question answered. Perhaps it can be done; if so our Breckinridge friends here are not posted. Right. We see a notice in the Augusta pa. pers requesting the citizen of that place and vicinity to meet for the purpose of taking measures to suppress the nofnri- ous and ruinous practice of selling li quor to negroes. There can bo no doubt that this villainous traffic is car ried on to a greater or less extent in every community, and the offenders elude the officers of the law, and es cape the just penalty of their meanness. Some extraordinary means must there fore necessarily be resorted to to arrest and punish them. It is needless to enlarge upon the mischief arising from instigat ing our negroes to steal and then cheat ing them out their ill gotten gains with fire arms and mean whiskey. There are some individuals of this class in Floyd county, and we hope the people will keep a wide awake eye on them, and when sufficient proof to convict can be had, bring them to justice, either according to tho “laws delay,” or in a more summary manner, twosonly necessary that he lo*o New York or Pennsylvania to ac complish this end, but this could not be effected eo long as the friends of Bell, Breokiitridge and Douglas in those States were arrayed in hostility against each other. Many of the more conser vative ot them have long been in favor of this combination and worked faith- folly to bring it about. A few weeks ago the news reached us that tho Bell and Douglas parties hfljtfftilesoed' hot that (ho supporters of Breckinridge still obstinately iwfosed to join them. The Journal of OhiMMipu one of the ablest and most conservative Northern papers, and the only one we believe, to New York city, that suppor ted Mr. Breokinridge, had been ear nestly and constantly uigbg its friends to unite itith the opponents of Black Republicanism and ensure its overthrow. For a while the prospect of this union wes dark, end the election of Lincoln to consequence thereof seemed certain. action of the meeting. the people nominated by partisan Tea- deni, upon distinct party platforms and whereas party platforms in our opinion have been violated by the party in pow er, and have been used by the leaders to deceive the masses, and to enable them to ride into power, and ns we find but one candidate for the Presidency and one for the Vice Presidency run ning upon the platform of the “Consti tution, the Union and the Enforce ment of the Laws,” a platform form ed by our fathers, not ns pnrtisans, but as patriots fresh from the revolution, therefore, Resolved, That we unequivocally en dorse the nominations of John Bell and Edward Everett for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, as statesmen and patriots, equal in their devotion to the Constitutional rights of every section of our country, ns tried in integrity and honesty of purpose and fully capable to fill tho high offices to which they aspire, and that we pledge them our undivided support. Resolved, That the late State Conven. tion of the Constitutional Union Patty that convened in Selma, have appoint ed an Electoral ticket which commands our confidence, and which we will use all honorable means to elect. On motion and second these resolu tions were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be published, with the pro ceedings of this meeting in the Selma Reporter and Rome Courier, requesting all pnpers friendly to the cause to copy. B. C. Ramey then addressed the meet ing, briefly reviewing the history of parties from the inauguration of Presi dent Harrison down to the present time, exposing the schemes and tricks by which the Democracy have kept con trol of the Government, and ascribing to their duplicity and reckless policy, the disruption of tho party itselt, and the perils which now hang over the country, and concluded by proposing tho formation of n Bell aud Everett Club for this District, which was accord ingly, done, and Wm. Story appointed Chairman. W. J. Borden, of Cedar Town Ga.,be ing present was called on, and respond edin a brief, warm and enthusiastic ap peal to tho conservative voters of the country, urging them to the support of Boll and Everett.

Recently symptoms of a negro insur rection were discovered near Talladega, Ala., and threo or four suspicious white mon and several negroes were found completely armed. Some of tho white scoundrels were arrested together with a number of negroes. We have beenj. shown a private letter from a gentle man in tliut place to another here, which says they are in the midst of great excitement. On tho night of] tiie 27th, the keys of the jail were de manded of the jailer by the citisens, and next morning a white man was found hanging to a china tree—dead.— The next day another was taken out for trial, but it was postponed until the following Saturday. The correspond ent says the indications are that a general insurrection was intended all over the State. VWe are truly glad that some of the whito villains have at last been caught and hung. We bad rather see one of them swinging to a tree than a hundred negroes. It is generally the case that the abolition emissaries come into our midst and sow the wind, and then escape and leave the poor, deluded negroes to reap the whirlwind. There are hundreds more left. Let us be on the watch for them. STOCKHOLDERS MEETING. Pursuant to notice given by those repre senting moro than ono-tlilril of tho stock, there will be atpMting of the stockholders in the Geo.
